He was a scientific sparrer, and not
long ago he sent note to Professor
Collins, boxing master, inviting him to
call at his residence Collins retired
from the ring several years ago. He was
known as the "cast-iron man." and de-
feated George Rookie, who was the
champion middle-weight of the United
States. Collins called at the Generals
residence, taking pair S Of boxing, 81 gloves y
that he was entirely out of practice, and
wished to arrange for series OF lessons.
Finally he saw the boxing gloves, and
proposed to take lesson then. Collins
assented, and the General led the way to
a spare room. The first three rounds
were purely for scientific points, and
Collins soon found olt that the General,
though out of practice, had science
enough to absorb his whole attention.
Both men were pretty we'll "winded,"
and suggestion was adopted that they
rest ten minutes. At the conclusion of
that time they came to the scratch for
the "wind up." Several vicious blows
were struck, and Collins began to bring
all of his science and skill into play, but
the General repeatedly got away from
him without punishment, Finally Col
Inns made desperate rush, but unguard-
eddy left an opening. The General i'm
proved it, ana by neat and clever I'M
dercut, struck the boxing master ter
rife blow on his under jaw, which COM
pletely "knocked him out" The noise
of the heavy fall alarmed Mrs. Logan,
and she rushed up sta RS, only to find the
General holding Collins head on his
knee, and making vigorous efforts to
bring him to.-Boston Herald.

A Jananpse Dinner.

The quaintest club in New York is the
japanese Club 1t was established
several years back by the leading Jap
ancse merchants and attaches of legation
settled in this city, and now numbers
some twenty-five members. They are
all men of means and influence and enter
tain any of their countrymen who NAV
pass through the city in the most hospi-
table way The club has imported a
native cook and commenced to give dim
ners prepared and served in the Japanese
style, at one of which, la Sunday, the
first Caucasian guests the club has dined
were entertained The dinner was given
in honor of Mr.. Okakura, the visiting
Commissioner of the Fine Arts for
japan.
The dinner was thoroughly national
in character. 1t began with soup, or
rather consomme, favored with mush-
rooms and chicken livers. This was
served in beauti nj lacquer bowls, each
bowl having a smaller one inverted OH
it, in the manner Of a lid, to keep the
Leaf in. The mushrooms and livers were
fished out with chop sticks and the soup
itself drunk from the bowl like coffee.
The second course consisted of raw
sea bass, cut into flakes and eaten with
vinegar and native sauce, like our ia
miliar Wor estershire, but much finer
in flavor. Indeed, it is believed to be the
ancient Soy sauce on which Worcester
shire is based The fish eaten in this
way was exquisite in flavor, making az
tooth.ome and delicate a morSel as oys-
tiers. A stew of meat and vegetables
followed, along with fry of lobster and
shrimp together. The lobster was cut
into pieces each sufficient to make tea-
sonable mouthful, and with shrimp or
two tried with it to give it flavor. A
superbly prepared perch, broiled whole,
rice and stew ad H6itum, completed the
repast, which was moistered with Rhine
wine, crowned with tea and topped off
in the parlor with cigars and brandy for
the dissolute Caucasans, and lemon soda
and cigarettes for the hosts.
Unlike the cookery of the Chinese,
that of the japanese is devoid of all sug-
gestion of grease OF cloying sweetness.
1t is light, delicate and readily lends it.
self to digestion. There are many dish
es at an orthodox Chinese dinner that
the Caucasian palate rejects. Not o dish
was served at this feast that was not
palatable One of its novelties was satu-
rating rice with tea. Tho result is ex-
quisitely palatable. Another was the
service of native vegetable like Our
turnip, eaten raw, in dainty slices and
moistoned with sauce.-Neto York. Nsaos

Origin of Turner'S"

The word turnkunst, or turner, is now
accepted as the common German mean
ing of gymnastics. Turning was phrase
first employed by Professor Frederick
Ludwig Jahn-known to all turner's as
Father Jahn"-who organized the first
society of turner's in 1912.
After Napo!eon's invasion and Ger
many's defeat Father Jahn' conceived
the idea that if the German youth were
trained and developed physically they
would be able to successfully cope with
France. Gymnastics had been but little
practiced up to that date, and chiefly by
the nobility. The Germans then were
stiff in their ways and dress. They put
themselves into garment, that swaddled
them up like women. "Father Jahu'
said: 1--WE Germans can't even turn
ourselves around. We have no use Of
our bodies. No wonder the Fren; h
whipped US. Come, let us join together
for the purpose of turning ourselves
around till we are as strong and as capa-
BILE of endurance as any men," In this
way the turner's became distinct body.

The Prussian army has watch dog
battalion which is carefully trained for
service. These canine soldiers are in.
tended primarily to convey intelligence
from the advance posts to the main
army, and are taught to trot to and fro
with small portfolios of dispatches
around their necks. A part of their
duty is to warn the outposts of the ap-
proach of enemies during the night, and
they are also trained to hunt up the
wounded. Two dogs are attached to
each company of chasseurs. Now if
this principle could be extended little
further and the whole business of set
Ting international disputes be delegated
to the dogs, what an advance toward
the millennium we should make.
Frank Weigman, who died in Cincin-
natl recently, was born in 1881 in West
phalia. When boy eighteen years old
he entered the English army, and subse-
quently became a soldier of Frederick
II. of Prussia. He fought in the war
against Napoleon, and was one of Bluch-
er's men at the battle of Waterloo, when
he received sword thrust which marked
him for life. He came to America when
he was ninety years old, and on the Goth
of last October he celebrated his 1Ojth
birthday. He was but four feet and a
few inches in height, and as spry and
active as boy of sixteen. His hearing,
eyesight and appetite were excellent. He
left twenty-three grandfather and eieh-
teen great grandchildren. His brother
died some time ago in Germany at the
age of 1903, and his mother died at ninety
nine.
